1085425 - Jenkins needs to use Java 7

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

Our builds die after Bug 1081287, because we're using JDK6.

I attempted to add jdk.version 1.7 to our POM, but that can't help in the face of this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH	/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/../lib/amd64

JAVA_HOME	/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre

Hello ci.mozilla.org maintainers!  Can we please get JDK 1.7 JRE deployed to ci.mozilla.org?  android-sync needs it.

I am assuming this means you want/need Java 1.7 installed on the jenkins server so you can make use of it for your builds, and *not* have jenkins itself run under java 1.7 ?

Correct.  As part of an existing Jenkins job, I want to be able to point our existing Maven installation at the JDK 1.7 and use it to compile.

You can now use one of either:
 
 - /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0
 - /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
 - /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-oracle.x86_64

gozer: apparently the right way to do this is to configure a new JDK in Hudson (see [1]) and I can't figure out an alternate.  I don't have ci.mozilla.org admin (can I have it?) so I've re-opened this ticket.

Awesome sauce!  And a green sync-android build: https://ci.mozilla.org/job/sync-android/2684/

Thanks so much, gozer.
